ALL bootloaders are horrid, it's in their nature. I wanted to respond directly to you, Ken, because your original was so detailed and obviously took a long time. Thanks for that.
I'm keeping your suggestions for the "if all else fails" part of my work. In what I have observed, the Boot Manager is trying to "hand off" to a boot loader. I get a really, really quick screen that has two very, very short lines--that's all I can distinguish--before it moves almost instantaneously to the Ubuntu grub screen. That's why I think it's not a kernel problem----yet. Although your steps may be quite painful, they may be necessary. Is that called "regression testing?" I've done a little of that myself recently and regressed to the oral expulsive stage of my personality development in which my hp-envy almost became hp-sattelite when I wanted to make the hp-efi into hp-ufo. And to refer to Bruce's analysis of what you wrote I wonder if things are "horrid" because they become "simply complicated;" e.g. kernel configuration from scratch.
